Betterment presses Trump to keep DOL rule

By Liz Skinner

Robo-adviser Betterment is reaching out to President-elect Donald Trump to keep him from gutting the Labor Department’s fiduciary rule for retirement advice.

It ran a full-page ad in Monday’s Wall Street Journal directing Mr. Trump to “stand on the side of America’s 75 million retirement savers, not the firms with deep pockets who are lobbying” to protect their interests.
